were cast- mostly in Sugar Mountain’s contested council race.Incumbents Ed Hardin and Gunther Jochl are
battling newcomer Nancy Crawford for their seats.

Wilkes early voting drew a total
of 272 voters, 130 in North Wilkesboro and 142 in Wilkesboro.

Caldwell County drew 320 early

business owner Debra Venti could be the reason. She’s attempting to take the
seat from incumbent David Barlowe.
